The compositions may be used for agricultural
or horticultural purposes and the type of composition used
in any instance will depend upon the particular purpose
for which it is to be used.
The compositions may be in the form of dusting
powders wherein the active ingredient is mixed with a solid
diluent or carrier. Suitable solid diluents or carriers
may be, for example, kaolin, bentonite, kieselguhr, dolo-
mite, calcium carbonate, talc, powdered magnesium, Fuller's
earth, gypsum, Hewitt's earth, diatomaceious earth and
china clay.
The compositions may also be in the form of liquid
preparations to be used as dips or sprays which are generally
aqueous dispersion of emulsions containing the active ingre-
dient in the presence of one or more wetting agents, dis-
persing agents, emulsifying agents or suspending agents.
Wetting agents, dispersing agents and emulsi-
fying agents may be of the cationic, anion or non-ionic
type. Suitable agents of the cationic type include, for
example quaternary ammonium compounds, for example, cetyl-
trimethylammonium bromide. Suitable agents of the anionic
type include, for example, soaps, salts of aliphatic mono-
esters of sulphuric acid, for example sodium lauryl sul-
phate, salts of sulphonated aromatic compounds, for
example sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate, sodium, calcium
or ammonium lignosulphonate, butylnaphthalene sulphonate,
and a mixture of the sodium salts of diisopropyl- and tri-
isopropyl-naphthalene sulphonic acids. Suitable agents
of the non-ionic type include, for example, the condensation
products of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols such as
,~
~05~03S
oleyl alcohol or cetyl alcohol or with alkyl phenols such
as octylphenol, nonylphenol and octylcresol. Other non
ionic agents are the partial esters derived from long chain
fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, the condensation
products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide,
and the lecithins. Suitable suspending agents are, for
example, hydrophilic colloids, for example polyvinyl-
pyrrolidone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and the
vegetable gums, for example gum acacia and gum tragacanth.
The aqueous dispersions or emulsions may be pre-
pared by dissolving the active ingredient or ingredients in
an organic solvent which may contain one or more wetting,
dispersing or emulsifying agents and then adding the mix-
ture so obtained to water which may likewise contain one or
more wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents. Suitable
organic solvents are isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol,
diacetone alcohol, toluene, kerosene, methylnaphthalene,
xylenes and trichloroethylene.
The compositions to be used as sprays may also be
in the form of aerosols wherein the formulation is held in
a container under pressure in the presence of a propellant
such as fluorotrichloromethane or dichlorodifluoromethane.
By the inclusion of suitable additives for
example for improving the distribution, adhesive power and
resistance to rain on treated surfaces, the different compo-
sitions can be better adapted for the various uses for which
they are intended.
The compositions which are to be used in the form
of aqueous dispersions or emulsions are generally supplied
in the form of a concentrate containing a high proportion of
_~ _
- 2~ -
l~S~i03S
the active ingredient or ingredients, the said concen-
trates to be diluted with water before use. These concen-
trates are often required to withstand storage for prolonged
periods and after such storage, to be capable of dilution
with water in order to form aqueous preparations which
remain homogeneous for a sufficient time to enable them
to be applied by conventional spray equipment. The
concentrates may contain 10 - 85% by weight of the active
ingredient or ingredients.
When diluted to form aqueous preparations, such
preparations may contain varying amounts of the active
ingredient or ingredients depending upon the purpose for
which they are to be used.
For agricultural or horticultural purposes, an
aqueous preparation containing between 0.0001% and 0.1%
by weight of the active ingredient or ingredients may be
used.
The compositions of the present invention may,
if desired, also comprise in addition to a compound of
the present invention, at least one other biologically
active ingredient, for example, an insecticide, or a fun-
gicide.
Thus, for example, a composition of -the present
invention may comprise a compound of the present invention
together with the gamma isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachloro-
cyclohexane.
In use, the invention compounds of compositions
may by used to combat pests in a variety of ways. Thus
the pests themselves, or the locus of the pests or the
pest habitat may be treated to control the pests.

by pests, which may already be occurring (i.e. treatment
to eradicate an infestation or infection~ or which is
expected to occur (i.e. treatment to protect the plant
from an infestation or infection).
In a yet further feature, therefore, the
invention provides a method of treating plants to render
them less susceptible to damage by pests, which com-~
prises treating the plants, or the seeds, corms, bulbs,
tubers, rhizomes or other propagative parts of the plants,
with a compound or composition according to the inven-
tion.
If desired the medium in which the plants are
growing may be similarly treated with a compound or
composition according to the invention.
In another feature, therefore the invention
provides a method of treating a medium in which plants
are growing or to be grown which comprises applying to
the medium a compound or composition according to the
invention.
The invention is illustrated, but not limited,
by the following examples.

EXAMPLE 36
The activity of a number of the compounds was
tested against a variety of insect and other invertebrate
pests. The compounds were used in the form of a liquid
preparation containing 0.1% by weight of the compound
except in the tests with Aedes aegypti where the prepara-
tions contained 0.01% by weight of the compound. The
preparations were made by dissolving each of the compounds
in a mixture of solvents consisting of 4 parts by volume
of acetone and 1 part by volume of diacetone alcohol.
The solutions were then diluted with water containing
0.01% by weight of a wetting agent sold under the trade
name "LISSAPOL" NX until the liquid preparations con-
tained the required concentration of the compound.
"Lissapol" is a Trade Mark.
The test procedure adopted with regard to each
pests was basically the same and comprised supporting
a number of the pests on a medium which was usually a
host plant or a foodstuff on which the pests feed, and
treating either or both the pests and the medium with
the preparations.
The mortality of the pests was then assessed
at periods usually varying from one to three days after
- 5~-
lOS~035
the treatmerlt.
The results of the tests are given below in
Table IV. In this table the first column indicates the
name of the pest species. Each of the subsequent columns
indicates the host plant or medium on which it was sup-
ported, the number of days which were allowed to elapse
after the treatment before assessing the mortality of
the pests, and the results obtained for each of the
compounds, numbered as in Tables I to III, above. The
0 assessment is expressed in integers which range from 0-3.
0 represents less than 30% kill
1 represents 30-49% kill
2 represents 50%-90~ kill
3 represents over 90% kill
A dash (-) in Table IV indicates that no test was carried
out. The symbol 'A' indicates that an antifeeding effect
was observed.

EXAM~LE 37
Compound~ of the invention were tested for mollusclci~al
activity and details of the tests conducted are as fo]lows.
A weighed sample of the compound under test was
dissolved in 0.5 cc of an ethanol and acetGne mixture
(50:50 v~v). The solution was diluted with 0.5 cc. water
and poured on to a calf feeding pellet in a glass petri
dish and the pellet was air dried for 24 hours. The weight
of compound used was chosen so that the dried pellet ~Gntained
4% by weight of the active ingredient. Two replicates
each consisting o~ a plastic petri dish containing a pellet~
2 slu~s, and a moistened filter paper to maintain a high
relative humidity were used in each test. The dishes wera
left in the cold room (10C). After 6 days the kill ~ias
assessed.
The slugs used were Agriolimax reticulatus (Mull), and
they had been starved for 24 hours before the comrr!encement
o~ the tests. The results of the test are set out in
Table 5 below.

The compounds Or this in~ention were tested against
a variety Or foliar fungal diseases of plants. The
technique employed is to spray the foliage of the
undiseased plants with a solution of the test compoun~l
and also to drench the soil in which the plants are growing
with another solution of the same test compound. All
~olutions for spraying and drenching contained 0.01~ of
the test compound. The plants were then infected with the
diseases it was desired to contro] and after a period of
days, depending upon the particular disease, the extent
of' the disease was visually assessed.
